FAQs for individuals and family resources
01 What if I'm a parent interested in serving my own family or an individual looking to help those I know?
​
The information on this site, the blog, and our social feeds are free. See the Marmutt Woods page for information regarding our retreat facilities. Our Resources and links will be helpful - we've done the searching and trying out for you. We're also happy to chat by phone or e-mail to provide ideas and support when possible. Ultimately, we want to encourage in your spiritual life so you can encourage your family and encourage you to connect with friends through church, work, or school that have similar values so you can support each other.
FAQs for services to congregations
02 What does it cost?
​​
There is no cost for the initial conversation. Once we have a plan for how to best serve you, we need to cover materials, time, travel, and other expenses, but our goal is to be a part of your Ministry, not make a living. Our starting point is $100. We understand church budgets and the uniqueness of each ministry, We'll work with you to adjust that rate to your situation, based on time, distance, programming, and resources.
03 What's the commitment?
​
We can help you once, do ongoing consulting, or set up a series of recurring visits. Our goal is to avoid a cookie cutter system and present solutions based on getting to know your specific situation. If you know what you want it can be a phone call and a single event. If you need help evaluating and establishing something new, it will take longer.
04 Is our church too big or too small?
​
If you have parents and children, you're just the right size. Large churches with professional staff can benefit from an outside source supporting and reinforcing what they already do. Smaller churches that are all volunteer lead can think of us as "on call" or "as needed" staff - here to help without the financial commitment of hiring someone.
05 Why do they call you "Mutt"?
​
It's a question only answered (and perhaps demonstrated) in person :-)
